the safety, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic effect of ka2237 (pi3 kinase p110β/δ inhibitor) in b cell lymphoma

Conditions: Lymphoma, B Cell

Summary: multiple ascending dose study to evaluate safety/tolerability, pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics effects of ka2237 (pi3 kinase p110β/δ inhibitor) in patients with b cell lymphoma and determine the maximum tolerated dose (mtd) in part i of the study. in part ii, patients with b cell lymphoma will be treated with ka2237 at the mtd to evaluate safety and efficacy in the patient population.
